Re: adding logo's to report (looks horrible)

the image in the word document is color. im looking for the raw (tiff) image if i can find it and i will convert it to blank/white using gimp. theni will try the process again to see if it will look better.

Im looking at it after keyesmail converts it to a pdf. I didnt look at the spool file via AFP view yet but will try that too.

will update.

We do some logo's here. I'm curious, does it look bad when printed to a

before that?

If you have some color and/or grey scale in your image, I've never found a
good way to upload that. 1-bit (black/white) always works better. The
only way I ever got grey scale/color it to look good was when I used the
iText java tools to actually place the images on a PDF document. The AFP
drivers butcher anything but 1-bit in my experience. Maybe I'm doing it
wrong though.

I'm trying to add a logo to a report that is converted to a pdf via
keyesmail but it looks horrible. I installed the IBM print driver
"Generic InfoPrint 600dpi AFP". I then generate a .prn file that is used
in the CRTOVL command.

I've played with the settings on the properties screen (Gray Scale
Method, Graphics Options, Color Options, etc), but cant seem to get a
nice logo.

The source for my logo is a word document where i copied in the logo. It
looks fantastic in word, but horrible in the pdf.

any suggestions or different methods to use to get something i don't
mind sending out to a client?
